Since 07 DJ1s are already open bath, what would cause them not use full travel / be super stiff?

remember that the fork has "air assist" so you can run it with no air no problem.

Does anyone know what size socket I need to take my fork apart?

My sockets are too thick to fit over the nut and between the stanchion so I need a thin wall socket.

Thanks.

You have to grind them down. Find the Marzocchi lowering thread and it explains it there.
